Crimson Hall,
But he dared not show any expression on his face. He hurriedly went forward and helped Grand Elder sit on a nearby slab.
But Grand Elder Chris didn't stop him. As he sat on the slab, he looked at the First Elder and asked, "What are your preparations for the event?"
First Elder responded immediately, "Grand Elder, as I previously informed you, I have chosen a specific monster zone for our event."
The Grand Elder's eyes flickered with interest. He wasn't expecting this. "Casey has decided this early," the Grand Elder said in his heart.
Without waiting for the Grand Elder to reply, First Elder Casey continued to say, "I have chosen this trial zone called Odyssey Monster Zone. To confirm the zone, I personally went there and met with officials"
"After making my request, I returned back to our place a few days ago.Coincidentally, a few minutes ago. I received confirmation from other parties. They have agreed to our request, but it is only possible if we agree to their certain conditions."
Grand Elder Chris raised his eyebrows in confusion. So many things have happened in the span of a few days. Looking at Casey, he didn't know what to say.
In his opinion, such drastic measures were unwarranted. Yet at the last meeting, Casey insisted on doing so to weaken the hostile forces. There is also competition between the alliances.
Finally, thinking about all of it. He let out a deep sigh.
Then Grand Elder asked, "What is their condition?" If it hurts our interest, there is still some time left to select another location."
The First Elder understands his worry. He had already made up his mind. If they touch his bottom line, he can still choose another monster zone.
So looking at Grand Elder, he said, "They will tell us after two days. Don't worry, Grand Elder. If it's not feasible, then I will select another location for the event."
Hearing such a quick answer from him, Grand Elder's old face reveals a small smile. At least he is satisfied that Casey seems to know what to do and what not to do.
Then they talked about a few other things before the first elder walked back to his own cabin.
In his cabin
A new gleam of light flashes in the First Elder's eyes.
The current appearance of the Grand Elder made him think about several things.
"Is he going to run out of oil?" First Elder thought to himself
Even though he knew he was going to die, the first elder believed it would be better after the event.
There is already so much at stake in this event. He doesn't want any mishap to happen midway.
Time Progresses,
Two days went in a flash,
Odyssey Monster Zone,
Official Ben is working in his office. Suddenly, he received a call from his higher ups.
Seeing that, he immediately attended.
A half an hour later,
Official Ben sat back in his seat in frustration.
Because his higher ups informed his of their conditions during the call. First, their faction wants half of the resources provided by academies for Crimson Hall.
Second, higher-ups want to know all the details about the event. Including all those rules and all. Because the higher ups are likely to send some of their own people to the competition.
If they knew the rules forehand, it'd be easy for them to rank high in the event.
"Shameless!"
Even official Ben cursed at his own higher-ups in his heart.
Forget about the second condition, after hearing the first condition itself, he knows that Casey won't agree to their condition.
Official Ben thought his higher ups were really asking for too much.
Shaking his head, he decided to tell Casey about it. The decision is up to him anyway, so he doesn't want to get dragged into their problems.
Next, official Ben called Casey.
Crimson Hall,
The First Elder, who was talking to someone in his cabin, After receiving the call, he told the opposite party to leave when the person walked out of his room.
The First Elder attended the call to answer.
"Official Ben, I was just waiting for your call. What happens now? "Did your higher ups speak about the conditions?" First Elder asked with expectation. He hopes that the conditions won't be too excessive.
On the other hand, official Ben begins to talk about the conditions.
After hearing the first condition, there is not much change in his face. But after hearing the second condition, his face reveals a cunning smile.
"What sly foxes!" The First Elder muttered to himself.
On one hand, they want to have huge resources. And at the same time, they want their people to get into the academy easily.
What was more surprising to him was that he knew that the Odyssey Monster Zone was not under the control of one particular faction.
It is more or less an alliance, with the majority of it dominated by medical factions. These research people take these monsters for experiment purposes.
For a brief moment, a tinge of curiosity rose in his heart. He wants to know who the higher ups were. Are they from the same faction or a different one? Now,
Thinking about it, the First Elder thinks that they really want to have a share of a large pie.
From the other end of the call, official Ben was taken back by seeing Casey's silence. He expected a strong rebuttal. But there are no words whatsoever.
Official Ben called out again, "Elder Casey?"
Hearing his name, the First Elder retracted his thoughts and asked, "Official Ben, could you tell me the name and affiliation of your higher ups?"
Official Ben's heart skipped a beat. He diplomatically answered, "You will know when you sign the contract."
The First Elder chuckled. He commented, "I want to know which faction is currently in charge of the Odyssey Monster Zone. I know it is jointly managed by many, so don't fool me. "
Official Ben remembers the words of his higher ups. Actually, they don't want to reveal their identity. Shaking his head, Official Ben replied, "Casey, Unless you agree to these two conditions, It's impossible to reveal their identity. "
Now the situation has become tricky. First Elder Casey doesn't want to agree before knowing who is in charge of the Odyssey Monster Zone.
Then he thought about something and answered, "Okay, I'll ask our Grand Elder for his opinion. Only then I can tell you about it."
After saying that, he ended the call.
